Call for Abstracts: Australian Meteorology & Oceanographic Society conference

[Ben Hague]

Dear colleagues (especially those in the Southern Hemisphere),

Abstracts are now open for the 32nd Conference of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS 2026): Southern Skies, Southern Seas: Science on the edge. The conference will be held over 16-20 February 2026 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

As a convenor for the session, 'Our evolving oceans, coasts and estuaries' I would like you to consider submitting an abstract to present at the conference and join us in Hobart. Abstracts close 15 September - you can submit via the website:

For more information, please see the conference website: https://amos2026.oa-event.com/, and read the session description below:

Oceans, coasts, and estuaries play a critical role in shaping our planet’s climate, sustaining biodiversity, absorbing carbon dioxide, and providing food and livelihoods for billions of people. The open ocean covers two-thirds of our planet and estuaries are home to the largest human settlements in Australia. This is a broad, multidisciplinary session covering studies of the impacts of changes and variability in oceanographic processes and sea level on natural and human environments. This session invites presentations that advance our understanding of:

• Impacts of coastal, estuarine and ocean hazards on natural and human environments including, but not limited to, ecological/ecosystem impacts (mangrove, saltmarsh, marine plants and animals, coral bleaching), food production (aquaculture, fisheries), and built environments (flooding, erosion)

• Impacts on ecosystems (mangrove, saltmarsh, marine plants and animals, coral bleaching), food production (aquaculture, fisheries), and built environments (flooding, erosion)

• Advances in understanding of circulation patterns, gyres and eddies, and interannual variability

• Global ocean changes

• Advances in satellite remote sensing, autonomous platforms, and numerical models

• Advances in high-resolution ocean modelling

• Advances in seasonal forecasting and climate change projections of marine and coastal hazards

• Describing the development of new datasets, forecast systems, and climate projections that help predict coastal, estuarine, and ocean hazards

We welcome research spanning observational, modelling, and theoretical approaches, and encourage studies that examine interactions across domains and scales.

Thanks,
Ben Hague
